As the Universe Turns - Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Flee
This parchment was obviously a broken map with the approximate locations of several countries around Yi Country. Xu Hao said excitedly, “I used a lot of effort to exchange for this map with two full Spirit Gathering Talismans!”

Xiao Chen glanced at the map and saw that there were seven countries drawn on it. They were all Mortal Grade Cultivation Domains. Among them, Liang Country was the closest to Yi Country and was in the southeastern direction of Yi Country.

“How can you be sure that we can smoothly enter the Liang Kingdom?”

Before leaving, Xiao Chen had to understand it clearly. Otherwise, he would be in trouble and even encounter danger.

“Don’t worry!”

Xu Hao patted his chest and said, “I have a way!” After saying that, he pointed to a place in the southeast of Yi Country on the map. “See this mountain? It’s called Nanling Mountain. I know someone here. His name is Nanling Loose Cultivator. I contacted him before. He has people in Liang Country. As long as we give him ten Spirit Gathering Talismans, he will take us to Liang Country.”

“Wait … Spirit Gathering Talisman?”

“That’s it!”

Xu Hao immediately took out a talisman. The talisman had a brilliant spirit light on it. It was quite extraordinary. Xiao Chen immediately felt that there was an extremely mellow Spiritual Energy inside. Suddenly, he remembered that those two old men seemed to have taken quite a few talismans from those people’s sleeves.

“If we want to go to Liang Country, we must have this …”

At this moment, Xu Hao told him about the Spirit Gathering Talisman. It turned out that wanting to go to another country, especially at this critical moment, was not that easy.

So you can only bribe someone with status in another country with something, and that person will give you an identity in that country, so that you can live there, otherwise you will be expelled or imprisoned.

And where did this Spirit Gathering Talisman come from?

A Spirit Gathering Talisman was naturally ordinary. Anyone who cultivated only needed to understand the Dao of Talisman Seals before they could be trusted to refine it with their hands. Normally, they would only use it to condense spiritual energy.

But now, it was different. Now that this Spirit Gathering Talisman was used to condense the spirit source leaked by the Yi Kingdom, what was this spirit source? It was the source of spiritual energy, the source of spiritual energy of a country. It was far from being comparable to ordinary spiritual energy. It was a cultivation object that many Nascent Soul cultivators dreamed of.

However, if it was an ordinary time, who would dare to think of a Spirit Origin without a head? But now, the Yi Nation’s spiritual source was leaking out.

Xiao Chen finally understood. No wonder the Orthodox Church of Yi did everything it could to stop the cultivators from leaving. It turned out that it wasn’t just to repair the cracks in Spiritual Energy, but also that these cultivators had plundered countless spiritual sources and brought them to other countries to offer them to others.

Thinking about it, these xiuzhe were also selfish. Even their own country had become like this, and they even plundered their spiritual source. However, thinking about it, wasn’t the Orthodox Church selfish? In order to repair the cracks in Spiritual Energy, they had to send others to their deaths one after another.

Thinking about it, there was nothing selfish or unselfish in this world. It was just a catastrophe. It was just a matter of people flying. It was the way to survive.

“How many Spirit Gathering Talismans do you have now?”

“I…”

Xu Hao scratched his head and took out a stack of talismans from his sleeve. There were only about twenty talismans. This was not a small sum. Xiao Chen did not expect that he had actually plundered so many spirit sources. No wonder the two old men wanted to find him just now.

“I only got twenty or so, but Brother Wu Chen saved my life today. Here, I, Xu Hao, am definitely not an ungrateful person. Here you go.”

As he spoke, he took out half of the Spirit Gathering Talisman and handed it to Xiao Chen. One had to know that a Spirit Gathering Talisman filled with Spirit Sources was worth more than one’s life. Once one went to the Liang Kingdom, one had to have enough Spirit Gathering Talismans to buy through the Liang Kingdom.

However, Xiao Chen did not reach out to receive it. He only said, “Give me some ordinary Spirit Gathering Talismans.”

“Ah?”

Xu Hao was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He smiled and said, “Not many Spirit Gathering Talismans are filled. Ordinary Spirit Gathering Talismans, mind your own business!” After saying that, he took out a large pile of unused Spirit Gathering Talismans from his sleeve.

“Enough.”

Xiao Chen casually took out dozens of Spirit Gathering Talismans and put them into his sleeves. Now, if he wanted to plunder the Spirit Source of the Yi Kingdom like the others, although it smelled like robbery, there was nothing he could do about it.

If he could convince the Yi Orthodox Church that he was not from the Yi Kingdom and let him leave safely, then he could not touch the Yi Kingdom’s flowers and grass, but now, did it seem like there was any reason to do so?

At this moment, the sky was about to turn dark. Xiao Chen looked southeast and said, “Let’s go.” After saying that, he moved and went forward.

Xu Hao’s injuries recovered a little and he immediately followed. The two of them sped along. By nightfall, they had already traveled a thousand miles. Behind them, Xu Hao was so tired that he was out of breath. He shouted, “Brother Wu Chen, wait a moment, stop for a moment …”

Xiao Chen landed on the ground with his hands behind his back. He turned around and looked at him. Seeing that he was out of breath, he frowned as if he suspected his cultivation. “Have you really reached the Void Realm of God Refinement?”

Xu Hao was stunned by what he said. He saw him traveling thousands of kilometers, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating. He was like a deity, and he began to doubt his cultivation. “Brother Wu Chen, do you really only have two hundred years of cultivation?” He asked in a daze.

Xiao Chen did not answer him. He sat down on a tree beside him and said, “Then rest for a while.”

“Hehe …”

Xu Hao’s face flushed red as he sat down beside Xiao Chen. If it was an ordinary time, he would have met someone who was a hundred years older than him. He would definitely be respectful and didn’t dare to say a word. However, because Xiao Chen had saved his life and given him a healing medicine, and because he had escaped together now, he wasn’t that rusty.

“Brother Wu Chen, do you have an Orthodox Church in your country?”

After a while, Xu Hao calmed down and suddenly asked.

“No.”

Xiao Chen replied coldly. At this moment, he was thinking of the Heavenly Gate. However, compared to these Orthodox sects in the Eastern Continent, the Heavenly Gate seemed to be extremely good. At the very least, it would not restrict the freedom of others, nor did it have the power of feudal rule in the Eastern Continent.

“Then your country is really good …”

A look of yearning appeared in Xu Hao’s eyes. Suddenly, he sighed again. Sadness surged on his face, and his voice became much deeper. “Everyone I know is dead … Either someone else killed him and snatched away his spiritual source while fighting for it, or he was trapped by the Orthodox Church …”

At this point, he suddenly sneered and pointed to the sky. “Brother Wu Chen, do you see this Heaven Sealing Array? The Orthodox Church would rather spend such a strong Spiritual Energy to prevent us from leaving than these Spiritual Energy to fill the cracks in Spiritual Energy.”

Xiao Chen raised his head and looked up into the sky. The radiance emitted by the Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Array was as dazzling as the stars and moons. It was so beautiful and flawless, but it was the confinement of all living beings in the Yi Kingdom. No one could escape from this beautiful cage.

He looked towards the distant starry sky. Was such a beautiful starry sky also the confinement of the gods and all living beings in the sky?
